Acker, Antin, and Marcuse

There's a nice introductory / summary article about Kathy Acker (Wikipedia entry) in a back issue of the London Review of Books. I wasn't aware of her connections to Antin and Marcuse. The article also has a little bit about her writing methods. It's all enough to get me to drag Essential Acker and Pussy, King of the Pirates off the shelves where they've been languishing since purchase.

Special thanks to Wyatt Bonikowski at The Nature of Too Bad blog for the pointer to the article.
